Mission

The World Endometriosis Research Foundation (WERF) is the first global charitable organisation with an aim to foster research into endometriosis to improve knowledge and treatment(s). 

It will achieve this aim by providing a platform to attract sufficient funding from a variety of sources to:

  • facilitate and carry out well powered international multi-centre trials involving sufficient patient numbers to provide results of statistical significance, and

  • support specific research projects investigating disease mechanisms.

This will enable global collaboration amongst researchers to ensure that:

  • collaborative research is carried out between international centres
  • datasets are shared
  • encouraging results lead to further research
  • strict protocols are enforced to ensure research is of high quality
  • results can be translated into viable treament.

 

Vision

 

In the short term, the aim is to identify, obtain funding for, and  commence statistically meaningful international, multi-centre clinical trials, which will optimise the care of women with endometriosis.

 

Current clinical trials

 

As WERF develops and grows its general research fund, it will also be able to call for proposals to support specific basic research projects investigating disease mechanisms with a goal of one day preventing endometriosis.

 

Ultimately the work of WERF should be able to exert a major and beneficial influence on the diagnosis and management of endometriosis. 

 

Success in these areas may herald a new era in meaningful medical research, and a day where no woman is crippled by endometriosis or prevented from having children due to endometriosis.


Goal

 

A day where no woman is crippled by endometriosis or prevented from having children due to the disease.

 

A day where endometriosis can be prevented.
